Coffeebrewer Nordic A/S is the company behind the Grower’s Cup brand. They are a small and innovative Danish company located in Middelfart that have decided to “battle” with the big boys and all their machines. The company is founded in 2008 and their small office, artisan roastery, and packing facility is established in an old restored farm building, nestled in a hilly landscape, surrounded by forests and the sea.
